talking to investors to get a funding round for my game concept of "the great british bake off for PS2"

also lmao at someone jumping in my menchies overnight to argue that open source projects, where everyone can see the code, are less vetted than closed source projects, where a tiny group of corporate actors can see the code

queer parenting moment 

We got a zoodler, so I asked my out 15 yo daughter to pick out a dozen straight zucchinis

Her: I know how to pick the straight ones
Me: Great! As long as we're still talking about zucchini

(reading the communist manifesto) seriously, NOTHING about hamberders?! I thought this was supposed to be political!

Mastodon, fediverse meta (~) 

Mastodon isn't good.
Fediverse isn't good.

They have their own problems. Other problems get perpetuated, but guess what.

It is a hell of a lot better than Twitter, because here we can do something at least.

And there are people to help you empower even more.

I take the fediverse over Twitter every time, because here I can actually help people.

the word kink is so cute and small tbh
it doesn’t even strike me as a sex word half the time nowadays

mr president there’s simply too many chrises please do something about this

I blame myself for Mastodon dying. I haven’t done enough shitty political posts about what if Trump was gay for Putin. #theresistance

@maxine this article sounds like complete garbage.

OK, I do agree with the notion that the features aren't picked well and that some are not good.

The reason seems too much leaned onto Twitter again, but are valid.

Though, I have other reasons and there are Msatodon alternatives (pleroma being the most popular)

Honestly, I hope they stay on Twitter and stop writing BS like this, but well.

First paragraph is already quite telling.

"[...] It runs off a decentralized social media software called Mastodon, and is part of a much larger network of Mastodon communities."

It's also a lot of pleroma and other software instances, not only Mastodon, but OK

Showing off how much the fediverse is understood already.

I agree though, this is not Twitter and that's good

To sum the first part up:

Because people aren't constantly enraged about some fastfood and constantly talk about 45 and are, more or less, just as a hell site as Twitter that causes constant anxiety and you have to fight off bad faith people 100% of the time,

it's apolitical and bad.

Because that's the only politics that exist, ever. If you are not constantly enraged, you are not political, that author says so.

A 4A foray.
